St Johnstone Duo Get Northern Ireland Call (7/11/17)

St Johnstone duo Alan Mannus and Paul Paton have been called up by Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill for the coming international break.

The next break of the 2017/18 campaign in November sees Northern Ireland face a World Cup Play Off double header against Switzerland.

The first leg takes place in Belfast on November 9, with the away leg in Basel three days later.

Having named his provisional squad, there have not been changes since but Aaron Hughes is a major doubt for the first leg despite rejoining the group. Jonny Evans is in despite being a doubt also, and Jamie Ward, Paddy McNair and Rory McArdle return.
